Commerce is to make India a major player in world

trade by 2020, and assume a role of leadership in the

internaonal trade organizaons commensurate

with Indias growing economic and demographic

prole. In consonance with its vision of ensuring

sustained accelerated growth of exports and

making India a major player of world trade, the

Government announces a Foreign Trade Policy

(FTP) every ve years. FTP is annually reviewed

to incorporate changes necessary to take care of

emerging economic scenarios both domescally

and globally.

The underlined philosophy of supplement to

Foreign Trade Policy is based on seven broad

principles:

a) Give a focused thrust to employment intensiveindustry.

b) Encourage domesc manufacturing for inputs

to export industry and reduce the dependence

on imports

c) Promote technological up gradaon of

exports to retain a compeve edge in global

markets

d) Persist with a strong market diversicaon

strategy to hedge the risks against globaluncertainty

e) Encourage exports from the North Eastern

Region given its special place in Indias

economy

f) Provide incenves for manufacturing of green

goods recognising the imperave of building

capacies for environmental sustainability

Chapter-4

External Sector and Indias Foreign TradePolicy (FTP) 2009-14

g) Endeavour to reduce transacon cost through

procedural simplicaon and reducon of

human interface

The FTP 2009-14, was updated on June, 2012.

The salient features of this focussed on reducing

interest burden and extension of the Interest

Subvenon Scheme upto 31

st

March, 2013, focuson labour intensive sectors such as Toys, Sports

Goods, Processed Agricultural Products and Ready-

Made Garments. The Supplement also provided for

extension of the Zero Duty EPCG Scheme (Export

Promoon Capital Goods Scheme) ll 31st March

2013 with enlarged scope. Other crical iniaves

include: Support for Export of Green Technology

Products, Support for Infrastructure for Agriculture

Sector, Incenves for Promong Investment in

Labour Intensive Sectors, Encouragement for

Manufacturing Sector in Domesc Market, adding

three new towns of export excellence, simplicaon

of procedures, focussing on E enabled transmission

of foreign exchange etc.

In view of the Departments strategy of export

diversicaon with focus on new markets and

commodies, 7 new markets have been added to

Focus Market Scheme (FMS), 7 new markets have

been added to the Special Focus Market Scheme

(Special FMS) and 46 new items have been added

to Market Linked Focus Product Scheme (MLFPS).

Addional incenves to boost exports

Government has recently reviewed the situaon

arising out of current economic scenario and

declining growth in the western world. Some

urgent steps are required for policy stability, to

boost the exports and to reverse this declining

Annual Report 2012-13

trend. Accordingly, it has been decided to:

(a) Extend period of Interest subvenon: 2%

Interest Subvenon Scheme on rupee export credit

is available to certain specic export sectors. These

are (i) Handicras, (ii) Carpets, (iii) Handloom, (iv)Readymade Garments, (v) Processed Agriculture

Products, (vi) Sports Goods and (vii) Toys. In

addion Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in

all sectors enjoy this benet. Currently the scheme

ends on 31st March, 2013. Now this scheme of 2%

interest subvenon to these specic sectors will be

extended by one more year, i.e., up to 31st March,

2014.

(b) Widen Interest Subvenon Scheme:

Engineering Sector contributes handsomely toboth job creaon and value addion of Indian

manufacture. To retain this compeve edge and

also to give a boost to our engineering exports,

certain specic sub-sectors of engineering sector

would be extended the benet of 2% interest

subvenon. They will receive this benet for the

last quarter of the current nancial year, that is,

from 1st January 2013 to 31st March 2013. The

general interest subvenon scheme is being

connued ll 31st

March, 2014. Accordingly thesespecic engineering sub-sectors would connue

to enjoy this benet of interest subvenon ll 31st

March, 2014.

(c) Introduce a pilot scheme of 2 % Interest

Subvenon for Project Exports through EXIM

Bank: A pilot scheme of 2% interest subvenon

is being introduced for Project Exports, through

EXIM BANK for countries of SAARC region,

Africa and Myanmar. This scheme is being made

operaonal for year 2012-13 onwards, for acombined worth of 500 million USD to begin with.

The interest subvenon would be linked to the

Buyers Credit Scheme which was introduced in the

last nancial year and which is being implemented

through EXIM BANK, ECGC and the Naonal

Export Insurance Account (NEIA). The essence of

the scheme is to boost Indias Project exports in

the SAARC/African region and to our neighbour

Myanmar, by providing long term concessional

credit through the EXIM BANK, as co-nancing for

the project exports in infrastructure sectors. Aer

the experience of this inial pilot, the upper cap

may be raised. The eligible cases for such incenve

would be sponsored by EXIM BANK.

(d) Incenve on Incremental Exports: It has

been decided to grant incenve on incremental

exports made during the period January-March

2013 over the base period January-March 2012.

The incenve would be granted to an IEC holder

at the rate of 2% on the incremental growth of

exports made to USA, EU and Asian Countries

during this parcular quarter i.e., January-March

2013. Certain exports like deemed exports, service

exports, third party exports, export-turnover of SEZ

units etc. would not be eligible under the scheme.

Thus there will be focus on increasing export to

certain specic desnaons.

(e) Addions in the Chapter 3 Schemes: Certain

products under the Focus Product Scheme and

markets under Focus Market Scheme have been

added. Similarly some addions have been made

to MLFPS/VKGUY. These addions under FocusMarket Scheme (FMS)/Focus Product Scheme (FPS)/

Market Linked Focus Product Scheme (MLFPS)/

Vishesh Krishi & Gram Udyog Yojna (VKGUY) would

be eligible for incenves on exports from 1.1.2013

which has been noed through Public Noce 42

dated 31.12.2012.

Scheme-wise details

Duty neutralizaon / remission schemes are based

on the principle and the commitment of the

Government that Goods and Services are to be

exported and not the Taxes and Levies. Purpose is

to allow duty free import / procurement of inputs

or to allow replenishment either for the inputs

used or the duty component on inputs used. There

are two categories of these schemes namely,

pre-export schemes and the post-export schemes.

Brief of these schemes alongwith the amendments

CHAPTER-4 External Sector and Indias Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2009-14

carried out during the current year are given below.

Pre - Export Schemes

Advance Authorizaon Scheme

Scheme allows duty free import of inputs,

along with fuel, oil, catalyst etc., required for

manufacturing the export product. Inputs are

allowed either as per Standard Input Output Norms

(SION) or on adhoc Norms basis under actual user

condion. Norms are xed by Technical Commiee

i.e., Norms Commiee. This facility is available

for physical exports (also including supplies to

SEZ units & SEZ Developers) and deemed exports

including intermediate supplies. Minimum value

addion prescribed is 15%, except for certain

items. Exporter has to full the export obligaon

over a specied me period, both in quanty

and value - wise. This year the facilies to club

authorizaons have been simplied and powers

have been decentralized to RAs. Export obligaon

period in respect of Advance Authorisaons have

been reduced to 18 months from 36 months. The

validity of Advance Authorisaons / Duty Free

Import Authorisaon (DFIAs) has been reduced

from 24 months to minimum 12 months or up to

31.3.14 from issue date, whichever is more.

Duty Free Import Authorizaon (DFIA)

DFIA Scheme has been made operaonal from

01.05.2006. One of the objecves of the scheme

is to facilitate transfer of the authorisaon or

the inputs imported as per SION, once export is

completed. Provisions of DFIA Scheme are similar to

Advance Authorisaon scheme. A minimum value

addion of 20% is required under the scheme.

Schemes for Gems & Jewellery Sector

Gems & Jewellery exports constute a major

poron of our total merchandise exports. It is an

employment oriented sector. Exports from this

sector suered signicantly on account of the

global economic slowdown.

Duty free import / procurement of precious metal

(Gold / Silver / Planum) from the nominated

agencies is allowed either in advance or as

replenishment. In addion, exporters of Gems &

Jewellery items are allowed access to duty Free

Import of consumables for export producon

upto a certain specied percentage of FOB value

of previous years export. List of items allowed for

duty free import by Gems & Jewellery sector has

been expanded by inclusion of addional items

such as tags and labels, security censor on card,

staple wire and poly bag. This will reduce the cost

of the product to some extent.

Monitoring of import of Gold by Nominated

Agencies as per the new guidelines has begun andthis would result in beer compliance.

Post- Export Schemes

Duty Drawback Scheme

Duty Drawback scheme allows refund of customs

duty and the excise duty on the inputs used in the

manufacture of the export product at a specied

percentage of FOB value of exports. Service Tax on

the input services has also been factored in the All

Industry rate of Duty Drawback. Duty drawbackscheme for physical exports is being administered

by the Department of Revenue and that of deemed

exports, by the DGFT.

Duty drawback rates for a number of products have

been reduced on account of reducon in tari and

roll back of adhoc increase eected earlier.

The products which were in the DEPB scheme

are given appropriate rates of duty drawback so

that taxes suered by the inputs which go in the

manufacture of the export product are rebated.

The Duty Drawback Scheme was announced on

20.09.2011 in place of DEPB scheme.

Other Policy Iniaves

Interest subvenon of 2 per cent has been

extended upto March 2014. It has also been

extended to labour intensive sectors, namely, Toys,


4/19

38


Sports Goods, Processed Agricultural Products

and Ready-Made Garments, in addion to four

sectors viz. Handicras, Carpets, Handlooms and

SMEs beneng from the scheme earlier. With

eect from January 2013, certain sub-sectors of

Engineering sector has also been added to the list

for 2% Interest Subvenon.

Time period of export realizaon for non-status

holder exporters has been increased to 12 months,

at par with the Status holders. This facility had

been extended upto 30.09.2012. Further extension

is under consideraon of RBI.

Chapter 8 of the FTP and HBP vol.1, relating

to deemed exports has been completely re-written in the Annual Supplement to the FTP

2009-14, released on 05.06.2012. In this re-

written Chapter, provisions of FTP have been

aligned with relevant Customs Notifications,

clarifications, issued by Policy Interpretation

Committee, have been incorporated and

language has been re-drafted to make it more

user friendly. The benefits available under

various categories of deemed exports supplies

have been prescribed in a tabulated form, which

removes all ambiguities.

During Financial year 20011-12, an amount of

Rs.740 crores was spent by different Regional

Authorities of DGFT. In the beginning of 2012-

13, approved claims amounting to Rs.320 crores

were pending for payment. During this year,

amount of Rs.850 crores has been earmarked

for this Directorate for meeting claims of TED

refund/Deemed export drawback. Up to the

end of December, 2012, DGFT(HQ) has released

Rs.769.33 crores to its different RegionalAuthorities.

EDI Iniaves

DGFT is the rst Indian Government organizaon

to start Web Based applicaon processing (1997)

using Secured Digital Cercates (2048 Byte

Key encrypon- 2004). Currently, DGFT receives

Shipping Bills, Bank Realizaon Cercates and

RCMC from Customs, Banks and Export Promoon

Council respecvely through Digitally Secured

Formats.

Introducon of e-BRC system

DGFT has established an e-BRC system to

receive details of export proceeds from banks in

digitally signed secured electronic format. DGFT

dispensed with the issuance of physical copy of

BRCs by banks for the purpose of DGFT use and

made e-BRC mandatory w.e.f. 17.8.2012. Earlier

Banks issued Bank realization Certificates (BRCs)

to exporters in physical formats. The e-BRC

system will significantly lower the transaction

cost of exporters who will not have to visit or

pay for BRC issuance to banks. Exporters can

print BRC details on the DGFT site and submit

it to any Department, which can, in turn verify

the accuracy of the data from the DGFT website.

This would mean all round manpower and

effort savings for the Government agencies

like Customs, Central Excise and at the State

Government level, the Departments dealing

with imposition and refund of Value Added

Tax (VAT). These departments can source such

information from the DGFT. The system mayalso supplement RBIs efforts towards Foreign

Exchange Realization Monitoring.

a) All authorizaons are being issued online

by DGFT. Message exchange with Customs

has been implemented for Advance Authori-

zaon, EPCG and DFIA. Exporters can track,

monitor their applicaons online at the DGFT

website.

b) A system has been established to receive

RCMC from the Export Promoon Councils,Commodity Boards and FIEO in secured online

format. DGFT oces will not ask for a copy of

the RCMC from the Exporters.

c) Electronic Fund Transfer facility is being used

by exporters for payment of applicaon fee.

The facility has been extended to addional

banks. So far addional 7 Banks have been

added into the exisng number of 13 (Total:

20 Banks).

d) Import/Export Code (IEC) is the mandatory

registraon for the exporters. Steps have been

taken to simplify the issuance of IEC. For this

purpose, an online Module has been developed

with eect from 1st January 2011 for receipt of

applicaon, processing and issuance of IEC.

Integraon with PAN database for validaon is

likely to be completed shortly.
